Looking for a healthy jam recipe? Discover how to make this easy Sugar Free Plum Chia Jam! It’s the perfect healthy jam, delicious, vegan and paleo-friendly to boot. Cooking the plums along with cinnamon, star anise and vanilla, brings out so much of their natural sweetness so only a few teaspoons of maple syrup are needed. However, maple syrup is optional and can be added to suit your own taste. With no added sugar, you can feel good about eating it right out of the jar or swirling it into your yogurt and overnight oats.
Ready in minutes and good to keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, this homemade chia jam can easily change your breakfast game. Enjoy!
To make the Sugar Free Plum Chia Jam, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small saucepan, combine 4 chopped plums, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 star anise, ½ vanilla pod, and 4 tablespoons water.
Cook until the plums are tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove the cinnamon stick, star anise and vanilla pod, and blitz the plums with a hand blender.
Add 2 teaspoons maple syrup to the saucepan and cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in 2 tablespoons chia seeds, and set aside for 30 minutes to cool and thicken.
Ladle the jam into a jar and screw the lid on. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
This Sugar Free Plum Chia Jam is quick and easy to make and fine to keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Did you make this recipe? We'd love to see! Tag us on Instagram @cookmerecipes and use the hashtag #cookmerecipes.
